I cannot even remember what it used to be like driving w/o a steering wheel. I
recently bought the T2 and I LOVE it (speaking as a previous owner of the T1
too!). It only costs the price of about two good games and it's well worth the
investment. When I started out racing with a joystick it was frustrating to
drive the car, now my only source of frustration is getting past the other
drivers. The T2 is compatible with just about every racing game and they have
refined the design from the T1 to make it near perfect (in it's price range).
Thrustmaster are also very generous with spare parts if you end up breaking
the accelerator on the speedways.
Hope this helps you out!!
